Expanded Brewing Guides: The Best of Immersion & Pour Over Methods

/ shares

Written by Chris Elliott on Nov 1st, 2012

It’s coming up on a year since we released our beginner’s guides to
immersion and pour over brewing, and we’re thrilled to expand on these
educational materials. We’ve revisited our methods, improved our instructions,
and added to our offerings. So what’s new?

It’s one of the oldest brewers around but the newest to the
specialty scene. Say “so long” to disposable paper filters and reusable
cloth or metal: this German beauty has a porcelain grid built right
in. Combining flat-bottom filtration with gorgeous porcelain and
unique flow control, the Walkure makes coffee like you’ve never had it
before.

Our offerings have been french press free for months, but these new
brewers from Espro and Hario were truly irresistible. The Espro Press implements a dual barrel-shaped mesh
filter to catch that famous french press grit, producing a cup that’s
full-bodied and flavorful but goes down smooth. Hario’s pretty presses
add a new wave of style to our lineup and wield two walls of tough
glass to keep coffee hot.

One of our favorite brewers is now made by one of our favorite
brands. Hario put its famous glass to use to design their own take on
one of history best inventions: the siphon brewer. They’re sleek,
they’re understated, and they’re ready to make your morning.

Coffee-makers don’t get any simpler — just smaller. For the easiest
cup of coffee you’ll ever make, check out the Clever. Originally
available in only one size, we’ve expanded our offerings for those with
less of an appetite. Don’t worry: the flavor is just as big.

Pioneering a new front for specialty coffee, pour over brewing represents
the intersection of artistry and excellence. In this guide, we set out to
examine the available options and scrutinize them side by side.

Fresh from the vaults of innovation, the Forté has arrived. So what's the
chatter about? This review will get you close and cozy with Baratza's newest
grinder, where you'll find out if it's really hot stuff — or all hype.

Every trade has its tools, and that of manual coffee-making is no exception.
One of the most important tools — especially for pour-over brewing — is the
kettle. And, if you ask us, these are the best ones out there.

Roasting your own coffee beans at home is better than ever with Hottop’s Home Coffee Roasters. The Hottop design is advanced enough to allow a skilled roaster to determine optimal parameters, while also being simple enough to enable newcomers to produce evenly roasted beans. So whether you’re new to the game or you’re a veteran roaster, Hottop roasters can give you coffee that’s exactly how you like it -- freshly roasted and full of fantastic flavor.
